In Which I Shamelessly Embrace My Blog As An Alternative To Baby Books...

... and, instead of composing a post with actual thoughts and ideas, I simply document a completely insignificant but nonetheless memorable milestone in my daughter's life: the first real (i.e. not performed by Mommy in the kitchen with a pair of cuticle scissors) haircut.

My beauty, all the more lovely for a cheeky smile, a neatly trimmed bang, and timely mullet removal.

So cute! Glad she didn't totally freak out on you like my kid did the first time he got a haircut. (And the second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth times he had a haircut. He's cool now, though. Finally realized the salon gives kids who don't scream bloody murder more candy at the end.)

Awwww! Look at that cutie! And I'm so jealous -- she's got that gorgeous, sleek, straight hair with bangs. My daughter has some sort of wild sproingy frizzy thing going on. I finally broke down and gave P3 a minor trim (first one ever, at 40 months old -- Daddy's sort of a Nazi about her hair) last week (just the very ends; they were all snarly and impossible). I'm hoping we can make the leap to the real salon soon -- I can't wait for mother/daughter "spa days"!

She looks fabulous! I haven't had it in me to cut Alliclaus' hair yet, at home or in a salon, but I think it's getting to be about time. Perhaps this will be the motivation I need. Although, let's be honest. My laziness knows no bounds, so it's entirely possible I'll just sit aroung thinking about it for another year.

I had to get Nathaniel's hair cut when he was less than a year old because it was in his eyes. He's had a head full of hair since he was born. His twin brother, Sebastian, hasn't had his first hair cut yet though. I'm going to get it cut soon though. It's finally getting long enough to start getting in his eyes so we're going for that little adventure maybe next week. Wish us luck!!
